David Jeffries of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying, "Sole's 2012 effort is more connectable than his early work and worth a listen if alternative observations hold more attraction than easy answers."[6] Chris Martins of Spin called it "his most accessible work since 2003's Selling Live Water."[7] Scott Morrow of Alarm said: "Songs for the revolution have seldom been so danceable, fun, and — dare we say it — pretty."[5]
Alarm included it on the "50 Favorite Albums of 2012" list,[8] while Westword listed it as one of the best local albums of 2012.[9]
